Prayers

I originally wanted to discuss my job and focus on the good that is going on right now. But during my normal routine of checking out other blogs I came across Vivian's post that really touched me. I'm so grateful that she posted this because I had wondered if there was a Patron Saint for Miscarriages and sure enough there is....Saint Catherine of Sweeden and Saint Catherine of Siena. Vivian is in limbo right now and I ask that God Bless her, her husband, & little one growing inside her right now. That she will have & see a healthy baby at her next doctor appt.

Please pray with me for all of those who have experienced a miscarriage, still birth or those who have chosen to terminate their pregnancies due to health reasons. This goes out to all the TTCAL nesties, these prayers are for all of us!!!

My Lord, the baby is dead !Why, my Lord – dare I ask why ? It will not hear the whisper of the wind or see the beauty of its parents’ face – it will not see the beauty of Your creation or the flame of a sunrise. Why, my Lord ?“Why, My child – do you ask ‘why’ ? Well, I will tell you whyYou see, the child lives. Instead of the wind he hears the sound of angels singing before My throne. Instead of the beauty that passes he sees everlasting Beauty – he sees My face. He was created and lived a short time so that the image of his parents imprinted on his face may stand before Me as their personal intercessor. He knows secrets of heaven unknown to men on earth. He laughs with a special joy that only the innocent possess. My ways are not the ways of man. I create for My Kingdom and each creature fills a place in that Kingdom that could not be filled by another. He was created for My joy and his parents’ merits. He has never seen pain or sin. He has never felt hunger or pain. I breathed a soul into a seed, made it grow and called it forth.”I am humbled before you, my Lord, for questioning Your wisdom, goodness, and love. I speak as a fool – forgive me. I acknowledge Your sovereign rights over life and death. I thank You for the life that began for so short a time to enjoy so long an Eternity.-Mother M. Angelica.

Dear God,People ask me how I am coping. I’ve learned to smile in company.I’ve learned to appear calm and even relaxed. But this is not the real me.It is a person that I watch going through the motions of living. Inside, I’m still screaming, or else I’m just numb. Sometimes the ache is so strong that my whole body is racked with pain. The pain and the questions are often bound up together. Why did I have to miscarry (again) ?The questions chase around inside my mind. I feel there ought to be answers. I feel I am owed some explanations.Yet no explanations come, and there seems to be nowhere to go to find any. You alone know the reasons for our loss.Help me to accept your mysterious ways and your divine plan for me, which may differ from my human hopes and dreams. Help us to understand that at the very heart of the universe there is not despair but hope, not evil but a God of love. Amen.
